IHB #007: Setting up the First Blog on WordPress.com, Part 2

Posted by QueenGeek on February 12th, 2009 in Demos, Posts, WordPress.com

Are you considering setting up a blog at WordPress.com?  We are going to setup another instance of our first blog using WordPress.com’s platform. As with all systems, you’ll need to create an account that is tied to an email address. NOTE: You can have multiple blogs within one account but there can only be one, unique email address registered with WordPress.

WordPress.com Account

To setup a blog using WordPress.com, an account or username is required. By default, WordPress will prompt you to create a blog using the naming convention username.wordpress.com.  Keep in mind that an account can be created without the blog.  Afterwards, a blog can be created with the convention blogname.wordpress.com.

Initial Setup

For those that are more familiar with Google’s Blogger, the initial setup is similar with the requirement for an account.  However, since this is not a Google product, the requirement to have a Google account is not necessary as any account and/or email address can be utilized.  Since WordPress.com is the host provider for these blogs, all URLs will end in wordpress.com just as all Google’s blogs end in blogspot.com.

After the account is created, login with a username and view the default theme and initial post on your blog.  Voila!!!  Now, you have another blog with that is hosted with WordPress.com.  Enjoy the demo.
